Poodles

Poodles are classified according to their size into three groups: the toy poodle, the miniature poodle, and the standard poodle. The toy poodle is the smallest on average of all the poodles. Toy poodles look a lot like standard poodles, except they are smaller and tend not to have the strange poodle haircut that many standard show poodles have. Poodles can be black white, brown, or any mixture in between. Poodles that have more than one colour in their coat are not recognized by the Kennel Club and do not participate in dog shows. Poodles are obedient dogs, originating in Germany and France, and are especially good at herding and duck hunting. The unusual standard poodle cuts of show dogs were originally meant to serve two purposes. The poodle was shaved to reduce water resistance when swimming to collect ducks in the water and its big tufts of hair were meant to keep their joints warm in the cold water. Most owners who keep poodles as pets don’t give their poodles ridiculous hair cuts because they look silly and are very high maintenance. Poodles are often called the most intelligent of all dog breeds. Poodles can be trained to do many things and make good watch dogs. They usually don’t bark excessively unless they sense an intruder. Not all poodles make good watchdogs. In particular the toy poodle is considerably less intimidating than a standard poodle, but still has a good strong bark. While many poodles are reserved and shy around strangers, they can be socialized if trained at a young age. Other poodles are very high strung but this depends a lot on the individual.

Toy Poodles

Toy poodles are great pets for a lot of people. Toy poodles get along well with families and can live in the suburbs or the city because they don’t need a big yard. Toy poodles are usually fine living in an apartment as long as they get out for regular walks. A toy poodle usually only grows to less than a foot tall and so doesn’t need as much space as bigger dogs. Toy poodles usually live for more then a decade, sometimes even past the age of fifteen. You’ll find that although your toy poodle doesn’t seem to mind being confined to an apartment for a length of time, they will be much healthier and happier if they get out for regular walks, especially id they’s give the chance to run around free on their own.

You can ask that a section of a nearby park be enclosed and dedicated specially for dogs to run free in. Your toy poodle will appreciate your efforts.
